The present invention, the Card Game, Lemonade Stand Edition, from asimple overview, involves getting a “Lemonade Stand” card. Then, startearning “Money” by placing “Money” cards down on the table next to your“Lemonade Stand” card. If another player places a “Suspend Sales” cardon your “Lemonade Stand” card, you can not earn “Money” until you getthe right “Resume Sales” card. The first person to earn $1,000 is thewinner of the game.

A simplified game derived from the complete game described above is toremove all of the cards from the deck except “Lemonade Stand”, “Money”,“Protection”, “That's My Money” and “Banker” cards. This should be donefor new or younger players to learn the basic pattern of the game andthen add the other cards you want to have in the game when you are readyfor them to be added.

The complete game rules require from 2 to 8 players and 106 cards.Shuffle and deal, face down, six cards to each player. The dealer cutsthe remainder of the pack and places one half of the deck in the middleof the table and reserves the second half until needed. The person tothe dealers left draws first. You must get a “Lemonade Stand” card.Table your “Lemonade Stand” card by placing the card face up in front ofyou on to the table. If you do not have a “Lemonade Stand” card, tellthe other players you will trade a “Five Dollars” card for a “LemonadeStand” card. If you have an extra “Lemonade Stand” card, offer it as atrade for “Five Dollars” as once all players have one of the twelve“Lemonade Stand” cards in the deck, the extra “Lemonade Stand” cards areworthless. Until you get a “Lemonade Stand” card, discard “Resume Sales”or “Suspend Sales” cards. Deals are done at any time as long as the dealinvolves the player whose turn it has become, the player holding sevencards. All deals are hand to hand and can include tabled cards. Allplayers must have six cards in their hand at the end of each turn. Eachtime you draw, you must table cards, discard, or play any of the cardsexplained herein. Once discarded, a card can not be picked up from thediscard pile.

Each card of the deck is explained below with the number of such cardsindicated in parentheses:

Lemonade Stand (12)—A “Lemonade Stand” card tabled in front of you isnecessary to table “Money” cards, Protect “Money” cards with a“Protection” card or play “All Stands Closed” cards, “That's My Money”cards or the “Bus Full of Customers and Supplies” card.

Money Cards: $100 (1) $50 (6) $25 (12) $5 (20)—“Money” cards can beplaced next to your “Lemonade Stand” card face up so as to be countedfor you at the end of a hand. You can not place a “Money” card next toyour “Lemonade Stand” card if you have a “Suspend Sales” card on your“Lemonade Stand” card. The highest “Money” card in your hand at the endof a hand counts against the “Money” accumulated on the table.

Protection Fifty Dollars (4)—The “Protection” card protects any amountyou have on the table up to Fifty Dollars but once placed, can not bemoved or added to in any way. A “Protection” card can not be played whenyou have a “Suspend Sales” card on your “Lemonade Stand” card.

All Stands Closed (8)—An “All Stands Closed” card can be discardedwithout effect but when played, by placing card on top of draw deck, itstops the hand and can be played by anyone without a “Suspend Sales”card on their “Lemonade Stand” card. “All Stands Closed” cards arepermitted to play only during the last half of the draw deck.

Suspend and Resume Sales Cards “Suspend Sales” and “Resume Sales” cardsare split into four categories and each “Suspend Sales” card placed onyour “Lemonade Stand” card needs a specific “Resume Sales” card toresume playing “Money” cards, “Protection” cards, “That's My Money”cards, or “All Stands Closed” cards. The right “Resume Sales” card needsto be drawn or bargained for or you can play a “Pay for Supplies” cardif you have an unprotected “Money” card. Playing the “Bus Full ofCustomers and Supplies” card also removes a “Suspend Sales” card andthen you discard the “Suspend Sales” card. You need to ask for the rightcard from the other players and bargain for it if you do not have anycard to remove the “Suspend Sales” card on your “Lemonade Stand” card.You can still place a “Suspend Sales” card on anyone even if you have a“Suspend Sales” card on your “Lemonade Stand” card.

Specific Suspend and Resume Sales Cards as set forth above include:

Suspend Sales No Ice (3) Resume Sales Bag of Ice (5) Suspend Sales NoCups (3) Resume Sales Stack of Cups (5) Suspend Sales No Sugar (3)Resume Sales Pound of Sugar (5) Suspend Sales No Lemons (3) Resume SalesCrate of Lemons (5)

Pay for Supplies (5)—You must have an unprotected “Money” card on thetable to discard to use this card. Play with any unprotected “Money”card to remove any “Suspend Sales” card from your “Lemonade Stand” card.

That's My Money You sold my lemonade (4)—Play this card and you canchoose any one unprotected “Money” card on the table from any player.This card can not be played with a “Suspend Sales” card on your“Lemonade Stand” card.

Bus Full of Customers and Supplies (1)—Play this card and any “SuspendSales” is lifted immediately and you collect the highest unprotected“Money” card from each player.

The Banker (1)—The person holding this card until the end of the handgets a cut of 10% from each player's net score at the end of hand,including protected “Money”, added to their score or can risk a 50/50chance of losing any cut by using the dice option. Roll a 1, 2 or 3, get10%, 20% or 30% but roll a 4, 5 or 6 on the first roll, get 0%. Rollinga 1, 2 or 3 also grants you a re-roll option and multiple re-rolls areallowed. A re-roll of a 2 is for a 2, 3 or 4 and gets you 20%, 30% or40%. If, on a re-roll of a 2, you roll a 1, 5 or 6, you lose any cut.Roll a 4 on a re-roll of a 2, no re-roll is allowed, take 40%. A re-rollof a 3 is for a 3, 4 or 5 but you lose any cut if you roll a 1, 2 or 6.Roll a 5 on a re-roll of a 3 and you take 50% of all net totals for thathand.

At the end of a hand, each player takes a turn counting out loud, to theperson keeping score, their total score by subtracting the highest“Money” card in their hand from their total “Money” down. The scorekeeper deducts 10% from every player and adds that amount to the playerholding the “Banker” card, if not changed by the dice option. Thescoring if the dice option is used is to reduce each score by thepercent won. The best way to calculate this is to start with an amountof 10%. Move the decimal to the left one digit. For example: 150=15.Double the amount of 10% for 20%. Triple it for 30%. Double the amountof 20% for 40%. Cut in half the total score of each player forcalculating 50%. Add these amounts to the score of the person holdingthe “Banker” card. The first to earn “One Thousand Dollars” wins thegame.

In an alternate embodiment of the invention, add Picky Customers Cardsand Bankruptcy Card. These eight cards for an expanded game and usethese rules in addition to the rules of the simple game. All “PickyCustomers” and “Bankruptcy” cards in your hand count against your totalmoney earned at the end of a hand.

Picky Customers—$25 Everyone in the car is complaining (7) You must skipa turn when you play this card. Place card “face up” in front of younear the discard pile. This is to remind you to skip a turn. On yournext turn, do not draw from the deck but place the card on the discardpile. You can play a “Picky Customers” card if you do not have any“Money”, or even a “Lemonade Stand” card. You must discard the lowestunprotected “Money” card you have tabled when you play a “PickyCustomers” card. A “Picky Customers” card can be played when you have a“Suspend Sales” card on your “Lemonade Stand”. Anytime one of thesecards is played, each player passes a card, face down, from their handto the player on their left. Each card passed should stay face down onthe table until all cards can be picked up simultaneously.

Bankruptcy—$100 Everyone on the bus is furious (1) You must skip twoturns if you play this card. Place card “face up” in front of you nearthe discard pile. On your next turn, do not draw from the deck, flip thecard over and wait until you skip two turns before you place the card onthe discard pile. You lose everything unprotected that you have tabledif you must play the “Bankruptcy” card. All cards, to include your“Lemonade Stand” card, with or without a “Suspend Sales” card, and“Money” cards, except if protected, are all to be discarded if you playthe “Bankruptcy” card. Anytime one of these cards is played, each playerpasses a card, face down, from their hand to the player on their left.Each card passed should stay face down on the table until all cards canbe picked up simultaneously.

One recommendation is that you wait until someone else plays a “PickyCustomers” card so as to pass the “Bankruptcy” card to another player orwait to draw a “Picky Customers” card and play it so as to pass the“Bankruptcy” card to another player.

Use the following “Expanded Rules For Scoring” when using “PickyCustomers” and “Bankruptcy” cards.

At the end of a hand, each player takes a turn counting out loud, to theperson keeping score, their total score by subtracting all “PickyCustomers” and “Bankruptcy” cards and the highest “Money” card in theirhand from their total “Money” down. The score keeper deducts 10% fromevery player and adds that amount to the player holding the “Banker”card, if not changed by the dice option. The scoring if the dice optionis used is to reduce each score by the percent won. The best way tocalculate this is to start with an amount of 10%. Move the decimal tothe left one digit. For example: 150=15. Double the amount of 10% for20%. Triple it for 30%. Double the amount of 20% for 40%. Cut in halfthe total score of each player for calculating 50%. Add these amounts tothe score of the person holding the “Banker” card. The first to earn“One Thousand Dollars” wins the game.
